Publisher's Summary

Tucker Sinclair is a free woman. She's finally escaped corporate life to run her own consulting firm. But with freedom comes unpredictability. What was supposed to be a short stint helping private investigator Charley Tate get his practice established turns into a full-time job. Charley pushes her to go beyond the call of duty - and try to save not only his business, but possibly his life.

It all starts when Eve Lawson stumbles into the Tate Investigations office to find out who is following her. Who would want to follow a bland writer with a wardrobe hopelessly stuck in the 80s? But Tucker and Charley soon learn that they've struck gold when this far-fetched case explodes into murder - and Eve Lawson, who's gone missing, is the prime suspect. The troubled daughter of a real estate tycoon, Eve's memoir may have rattled a few skeletons in the family closet. Tucker is on the case, and not even L.A. traffic can stop her.

I kept waiting for it to get cute or humorous. Never happened. Otherwise, the mystery was inventive and the characters and story were crafted well enough that I kept listening. It was not a waste of time, but it wasn't the kind of fun I was hoping for.
